Drooling
I know this is a weird question:
Since I have become pregnant, I have found myself drooling often. I NEVER drooled before. I wake up and my pillow is wet, or I can even be sitting in a chair reading a book or watching TV and barely catch it before it falls onto my shirt. It doesn't make any difference if my mouth is closed or not. My doc says I have developed carpel tunnel syndrome (because of being pregnant) and it has progressed from very sore wrists to my finger tips being constantly numb. I wonder if maybe this has deadened other nerve endings in my body, therefore making me drool without noticing. Has anyone else experienced this? Or am I just weird. -- Thanks, Gayle Huwe |

Drooling
I hate to admit it, but I did too. In fact, I snored an awful lot when I was
pg. But don't they say your sinuses get more stuffy while pg? And I guess that would lead to the snoring and mouth breathing when sleeping. I don't know about drooling when awake though... You're not too weird. It's just a mystery. You're mysterious. Ahhhh, I like that. It's sounds much better that way. :-) Now go get a klenex and wipe your chin. LOL! Stephanie Jake and Ryan 9/3/99 |

Drooling
ha ha.
Thank you for your response. I've had a couple of other people write me and tell me they experienced it too, although no one has come out and said they do it while they are awake too. But I don't feel too weird anymore. At least, not about that :-). As for the snoring, I read in some medical journal (or parenting magazine etc) that we DO snore more when we are pregnant. Something about the extra hormones causing our sinus passages to swell. I had chalked it up to just being extremely tired all the time. But friends have been remarking this entire time, that I sounded really congested. I now can say "Just another side effect of being pregnant." Like I am some kind of expert or something lol.

Drooling
LOL and what did you receive for your surgery? A boy or a girl.

I didn't snore before but now my poor DH doesn't have a peaceful night! Did anybody find a way to stop it??? Stopped overnight at 39 weeks, 5 days. Mind you, it required major surgery in my case, though some folks get by without even stitches. ;-) --Helen |

Drooling
Ellie,
Since my husband is suffering from Sleep Apnea and has been snoring quite horrendously (sp?) himself, I ended up moving into the baby's room a while ago. Also because with how big my tummy was, there wasn't room for all (5) of us. So my husband doesn't complain about that, except for when I fall asleep in the car, or on the couch, or at the movies, or in church, or at a friends, or at dinner . . . . . then he laughs at my snoring.

Ellie You could try those Breathe Right strips that you put on your nose. I know they help some people to not snore so much. -- Leslie Alex and Jordan, 06 May 2000 "GandSBrock" wrote in message ...
